I'm craving Chipotle on this rainy day, and I was so excited when I realized I had a pork tenderloin in my refridgerator!!! I decided to make a copycat of Chipotles carnitas right at home in my slow cooker! Must-try for all Chipotle lovers

Instructions:
Pat dry pork tenderloin with paper towels. Combine rub ingredients and rub all over tenderloin then place in your Crockpot. Top with remaining ingredients, cover, and cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 6-8 hours. When done, the meat will be cooked through and very tender, easily separated with a fork. Remove the tenderloin from the Crockpot and shred the meat with two forks. Do not discard juices. To Serve, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium skillet. Add carnitas and a little of the carnitas juice into the skillet. Cook until juice has evaporated and bottom of carnitas is crispy and browned. Make your bowls with rice and a handful of lettuce top with carnitas, guacamole, salsa, and red onion. Serve and enjoy :).
